Christina Malone-Brown was born at 9:11 p.m. on 9/11, weighing 9 pounds and 11 ounces.

Dad Justin Brown joked that his family should play the lottery.

Mom Cametrione Malone-Brown said her daughter's birth brought lightness to a day shadowed by the 2001 terror attacks.

A photo of the baby shows her asleep in a hospital bed for infants, wires connected to her torso and a blue elastic band wrapped around her head. ABC 7 reported that baby Christina is receiving some extra oxygen in NICU because of a minor lung issue, but she is expected to be okay.

Her mother, Cametrione Malone-Brown, said her baby girl brought a spot of light to a day darkened by memories of the 2001 terror attacks.

"You find triumph, you find a piece of joy from a day that's so drastic and still hurts," she said.

Patient coordinator Rachel Laughlin said she's never seen such a birth in her 38 years of working in healthcare.

"It just makes her a even more special little girl that she already is," Laughlin told ABC 7.
